#NAPLAN is bullshit. as a teacher I know it’s not testing what people think it is. And it’s controlling what’s taught and minimising both joy in learning and depth in learning. Stupid American idea set to fail us.

NAPLAN Returns, But Remote Australia's Learning Gap Refuses to Close As NAPLAN 2026 testing opens, data from ACARA shows remote students still trail metropolitan peers by up to two years of learning. What will change this time?

It’s the damned government’s fault. I will never ever forgive Julia #Gillard for this shitfukkery. Her #NAPLAN and #Myschool crap set this nations education back so far it’s incalculable.

Is the focus on NAPLAN’s ‘top’ schools a good idea? This year’s NAPLAN results reveal encouraging stories of student progress, but headlines about 'top' schools risk oversimplifying how improvement really happens – and what parents should take from the data.

NAPLAN results can show progress, but they don’t offer simple answers about what makes a school successful, writes Sally Larsen.

The Nordic countries also do education better than Australia…without toxic, high stakes, standardised tests like #NAPLAN, and without a massive private education system sucking taxpayer funding away from state schools.

#Productivity. #Education

Gillard sold this country out in...let me count the ways...lots. what a first class traitor. #soleparentpensionaxed #USTroops #Gonski #Naplan #AssassinatingRudd #ClintonFoundationTheft Please feel free to add "moving forward" as in her motto.

I reckon this painting, or one much like it, was used as a "starter" for a creative writing question in the Australian #NAPLAN test for Year 9 students a few years ago. Would have loved to have seen some of the written responses.
